The fireplace in my master bedroom didn't turn out quite like I had pictured andit needed a makeover in a bad way.It took me a long time to figure out what to do with it.(before)I used the picture below for inspiration.

First I primed it and then painted it white.

(during)Next I wiped a brown stain all over it with a rag andthen wiped it off with another.It's better than the two shades of gray.

(after)I've always had a hard time accessorizing it because there is an angled ceiling that runs into it and the mantle isn't very deep.Here's what I came up with for now.What do you think?

it looks great - i am obsessing about wanting everything white all of the sudden - i have fallen in love with a few blogs that decorate their homes in all white and now i want that -- and i am crazy with color in my house presently so i don't know where to begin!
